2 years ago I started a birth control pill called Yasmin and was on it for 2 years. During this time I was on and off it as it gave me alot of symptoms which included being very emotional, weight gain, low libido and more. These symptoms didn't exist when I started Yasmin, not until probably 6 months in, is when I started noticing that my body wasn't liking it. So I stopped it completely last year around August.
Hello everyone.
I'm a 17 year old male in High School with erectile dysfunction and a loss of libido. I noticed starting January or February last year that my erections where getting weaker and softer. In July I woke up and my penis felt abnormally flaccid. I remember having trouble getting any erection at all that day. The next week I could get an erection, but I would have to try very hard, it wouldn't be a real strong erection, and I would have to try quite hard.
I have been in menopause since I was 23 yr old, now i am 29. I still don't have the swing of it. I was given "yasmin" to help me with my menopause. I am balding and losing so much hair its scary.
It is now noticeable and I don't know what to do! I am always tired, depressed and my skin is starting to droop. I would be perfectly fine with aging naturally at the appropriate age but I'm not!
but i m having loss of libido and erectile dysfunction because of that.......i m worried........wheter it is reversible........i hv stopped that drug.......its a herb......which stops conversion of testastrone to DHT...........WORRIED.........please........let me knw........it is reversible............
I went to see a Doctor and he ran untra sound test on me and fiound that i have PCOD and he advised me to take Yasmin to first regularised my period which i did, I had no problim during the first month of taking it, I started the second month on 22.12.11 and since 30.12.11 i have been spotted lightly, sometimes i have some blood-like discharge, black and brown colour. I am still on the pill as my Doctor told me that it is normal to spot lightly while on the pill.
So I hear (and I have also read) that yasmin is AWESOME for women with PCOS.. Any comments? I am about to switch from alesse to yasmin but I am nervous because there have been many birth control pills that give me uncontrollable mood swings, anxiety and depression. Alesse has been okay for me, not the best, but ok. Does anyone else experience this when they take birth control pills? I think that it is related very closely to PCOS.
Metformin and some type of birth control pill are normally the treatments of pcos. I've had pcos since (and maybe longer) 2007 and have been on metformin 500mg 2x since Jan of this year, plus I'm on Yasmin bc pills. Yasmin, like luisa24 said is the best form of bc pills for pcos. It also helps great if you suffer from mild acne breakouts.
To answer your question about the side affects after you stopped treatment, well that i cannot answer.
Recently in the pass 2 months, I have gained a lot of weight due to busy schedule, lack of exercise and improper diet. I think I have gained about 18 pounds or about 7 KG.
I recently noticed that I have been losing my libido, unable to have intercourse with my girlfriend. It's not that I cannot get an erection, I just cannot maintain it while having intercourse with her. Halfway through, I find myself panting as though I have been running and sweating a lot.
At the end of the 2nd week, I had complete loss of erection, no libido at all. So, I stopped the supplements after a total of 18 days as a very unmistakable pressure in the head was felt a few hours after taking the multivitamin tablet.
Over the next few days, the pressure in the head went away, depression went away but only got some erection back with difficulty ejaculating, noticeably increased time and very low sperm volume.
I would say to try the pill out for a few months, like 3 UNLESS your symptoms get worse. The body needs time to adjust to any bcp and 3 months is the normal. I'm on Yasmin too and never had any problems with it. Yasmin is one of the top bcp that is given to woman with pcos because most woman can tolerate it better then other bcp. The only thing I've found while taking Yasmin (and I think this goes for ALL bcp) it raises my blood pressure a little.
Loss of libido and depression is a bit of a double edged sword. As Hector mentions clinical; depression and the loss of interest in life as well as sex is certainly a sign of clinical depression,however the problem with taking most of the SSRI (newer AD"s or the old MAIO"(older AD'Ss) is that the most complained about side effect to doctors and documented in studies was ..loss of libido /and or a sexual dysfunction problem.
With correcting the thyroid, things should improve but also test testosterone levels.
Hi,
I'm male 21 and have been takeing Amitriptyline, 10 mg for the first week then increased to 20 mg for the second. I have been on it for nearly two weeks (11 days) for irritable bowl syndrome and Anxiety. They seem to be working very well... but since day 2 on this medication I have been experiencing loss of sex drive and my erections don't seem that hard and it feels numb and pleasure is very low.
